Bottom of the Roster Guys

Thank god a post about football players. Cheek has a really weird throwing motion, Lovett is basically Chuba, I'd rather hang on to the bigger back. Don't see how any of these WR's beat out Higgins/Zylstra/Shi for the last roster spots. TE's and D-line depth can never hurt to take a look at in camp.

Great post.

It's funny that I remember how having a "possession" receiver was such a big thing before all these spread offense became the norm. Lacking the ability to separate is one of the quickest ways out of the league now.

 

No surprise Funchess is still a free agent.  Can’t believe Gettleman had us with two big, lumbering WR’s 🤦🏻‍♂️ 
 

I’m wagering Charleston Rambo makes the team somehow.  With a name like that he simply has to, and with Shi Smith’s legal trouble he just might slip onto the roster.  High pointing and attacking the ball seemed like something Shi was good at, so he might fill that role if things go south with Shi

It's possible but it's been a while since we had a UDFA actually make the roster, IIRC.

First year since RHule took over, where the team will have a few hard choices to the 53 cut. 

RHule was big on development and thats what the 16 man PS is for.....havnt seen the effort or results from that group...  It should be one of the better ones this year...

Ra'Shaun Henry (WR)- a long athletic receive out of Virginia. He ran a 4.43 40 at his Pro Day and is 6'3. He came to us after the draft as a UDFA. We have alot of WRs on the roster. We need someone to step up to help DJ.

The team clearly likes this guy and believe he can make the team.

Interesting, just noticed on Over The Cap that Rambo has the same $100,000 guarantee and a $5k bonus. 

That is interesting. We threw money at UDFA WR's. Maybe they view the positional depth as less than ideal? 

I would have honestly said that is one of our stronger units on the team.

...Maybe they are looking at the effort being put forth by the varsity team.

Even if that is the case, none of those guys is likely capable of beating out our top three. I think maybe it's more about that bottom of the roster churn Fitterer talked about.

Zylstra is probably a lock on special teams, so 9 guys fighting for maybe 2 spots? Probably Shi and Higgins jobs to steal.

    • I mean.....his guy has to be someone willing to come so Geno Smith is out. If you mean RUSSELL Wilson, that is laughable. Fields and ZACH Wilson are just basically the beginning of the end. These aren't likely to be Geno Smith turnarounds. Fields is further proving that he just isn't much more than a gimmick player. Zach Wilson still probably needs a year or two under some better circumstances before I would consider him a candidate for being a turnaround. He is just jumping straight back into the NY Jets fire here. 
    • This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.
    • they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.
